Moshe and Guy in 1996. Story is from GlobalDreamers. Moshe is a Holocaust Survivor.
The Holocaust was a horrible time. It was when Adolf Hitler killed over 11 million people died, including 6 million children because he was against Jewish people(even though all the people who died weren't Jewish). The Nazis tried to kill more children because they were the next generation of Jewish people. If you didn't have blond hair and blue eyes you were considered Jewish.

The Paper Clips Project was created in Whitwell Middle School. Facts about the Project -It was created by Linda Hooper(principal), David Smith(assistant principal) and Sandra Roberts(8th grade language arts teacher). -Whitwell, Tennessee is not very diverse. In the movie, they said there was only 2 black children and 1 Hispanic child. They were nondenominational(they celebrated no religion). The 3 staff members decided to do a project about the Holocaust. In 1998, Sandra, Linda and David held a class for children who wanted to learn about the Holocaust. One child said "What does six million look like?" when they said six million children died. Linda Hooper said if they could find something that has to do with Holocaust to collect, they attempt to collect six million to represent the children who died. After doing some online research, the students decided to collect paper clips. During the Holocaust, people from Norway put paper clips over the Nazi symbol as a silent resistance. The children sent letters to Holocaust survivors, friends and families. People started to send them paper clips. One man sent them a million paper clips. The students had to count the paper clips. At first they weren't doing very well because they were a small town and not a lot of people knew about their project. Then a writer for the Washington Post named Dita Smith wrote about them in 2001. They were also featured on the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt. The paper clips started to flow in. They also received letters. The children had to sort the letters by regions, then states and then they had to write down exactly where the letter came from. They filled up a lot of binders! After they collected over 30 million paper clips, they went on a hard journey to get a authentic railcar from Germany that worked as transportation for Jewish people to get to concentration camps. With help from their art teacher and their community, they got 11 million paper clips in the railcar. They also got pictures and some letters from all around the world. They had the railcar outside the school.
This is a picture of the railcar outside Whitwell Middle School
This is David's Star made out of paper clips. The star is a symbol for Jewish people.Jewish people had to wear a arm band with the star on it to show that they were Jewish during the Holocaust.
What I Learned From Safe Haven: Warsaw Zoo During the Holocaust, Jan Zabinski owned a zoo. It was a great zoo, but during World War II, it's business went down drastically. Jan Zabinski let some Jewish friends into the zoo so they wouldn't get killed. More and more people stayed in the zoo. Many of the animals escaped and died. Nazi started to attack Warsaw Zoo. One time the Nazis attacked Warsaw Zoo and killed Jan Zabinski's chicken but not Jan. The Warsaw Zoo became a big target for the Nazis. They were hiding over 300 people there. The zoo was bombed and many animals died. Many people died their hair blond with bleach so they wouldn't get targeted and didn't look like what the Nazis considered Jewish.
My Personal Feelings About the Holocaust I feel that the Holocaust is an important time in our history. It was horrible, disgusting time started by an evil man. What I think is most horrible is that all the men I have mentioned as Nazis decided to follow Adolf Hitler in his stereotypical based plan. I also think it is horrible that Hitler wanted to kill the children mainly(like I stated at the top) because children(including us) are the future. Before WorldWarII, there were about 90.03 million people. Seeing that 11 million people died, that lowered Germany's population much lower. We are lucky and fortunate that WorldWarII ended because Hitler might have tried to kill the whole Jewish population around the world. I think it is important we learn about the Holocaust because somewhere in the world, there probably is a man crazy as Hitler. We should learn because we need to help prevent it from happening again. It should never be forgotten but no one should ever have to go through that again.
